UNHEALTHY
RELATIONSHIPS

What are the Signs?

An unhealthy relationship can have various negative impacts on a person's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It can change the way a person views life and reduce self-esteem. Oftentimes people remain in these types of relationships because they think things will improve. While others are oblivious to the harmful nature of their relationship. However, as feelings grow it can become challenging to leave the situation. Many people stay because of attachment, guilt, or fears of being alone, â€‹

\Some of the dangers include:

​

  1. Physical harm: Unhealthy relationships can lead to physical abuse, which can result in serious injuries or even death.

  2. Emotional harm: Constant criticism, verbal abuse, and manipulation can lead to low self-esteem and self-worth, depression, and anxiety.

  3. Psychological harm: Unhealthy relationships can lead to stress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other mental health issues.

  4. Isolation: Unhealthy relationships can lead to social isolation, as a partner may discourage or prohibit contact with friends and family.

  5. Financial harm: Unhealthy relationships can lead to financial abuse, in which a partner controls or manipulates the other partner's finances.

  6. Increased risk of substance abuse and addiction: The stress and emotional turmoil caused by unhealthy relationships can lead to substance abuse and addiction.

  7. Difficulty to leave the relationship: Unhealthy relationships can make it difficult for a person to leave the relationship, as they may be emotionally dependent on their partner, or fear their partner's reaction.

 

It is important to remember that if you or someone you know is in an unhealthy relationship, it is important to seek help from a therapist, counselor, or other professional. Additionally, it is important to have a plan and know where to turn for support and resources.
